He transformed from a fierce tiger pillar into a martial saint.

Five or six villagers followed closely behind.

"Ah Yang, are you alright?"

Chu Yang said, "I'm fine."

"I've already killed that bandit."

"How did that bandit go?"

One of the villagers said, "They were just killed by us with a few shovels! Those despicable bandits!"

Hearing that the bandit was also dead, Chu Yang felt much relieved.

Chen Qing ran up from behind: "Young Master, are you alright?"

Because of Chu Yang's family, Chen Qing gradually integrated into Chu Family Village.

However, Chen Qing also knew that everyone was doing this out of respect for Chu Yang's family.

Therefore, he would also take the initiative to participate in some affairs of Chu Family Village on a regular basis, which could be considered as doing it on behalf of Chu Yang.

Upon hearing shouts of bandits from within the village, he threw on a coat and chased after them.

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not injured. Don't worry. Let's go check on our uncles."

Chen Qing was actually quite emotional inside.

He knew that Chu Yang would practice his skills at night and go to bed very late.

After a long day, you're bound to sleep soundly.

When he ran out of the house, he remembered that Chu Yang's room was very quiet. Chu Yang must have been sleeping soundly and couldn't hear the shouts outside at all.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yang caught up so quickly and became the main force in capturing and killing the bandits.

"The young master has now become a Ming Jin martial artist; he is indeed extraordinary!"

Chen Qing felt happy and proud, and also felt even more awe.

Those young and strong villagers had witnessed Chu Yang's strength as a Ming Jin martial artist firsthand, and their gazes towards him became much more respectful.

Even those who had previously mocked Chu Yang now felt admiration and even awe!

As Chu Yang stood up and walked towards Chu Changnian and the others, the villagers even rushed to help him up. They followed behind him as if he were the leader.

Soon, they arrived at where Chu Changnian was.

Chu Changnian and his third son were both stabbed by a dart and suffered serious injuries.

Fortunately, there were people in their village who knew medicine, and they quickly gave them initial first aid.

"How is Uncle's injury? How is Chu Liang?"

Chu Yang asked in a deep voice.

Chu Liang was Chu Changnian's third son.

The person knowledgeable in medicine said, "The village chief's injuries are quite serious; he still needs to be treated by a specialist doctor from the clinic."

"In my judgment, although the village chief did not suffer any damage to the vital organs, he has been severely weakened and will likely be unable to exert himself in the future, and will also suffer from chronic blood and qi deficiency..."

"Chu Liang injured his back, which connects to the meridians of his arm. His right arm will likely be permanently disabled!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers present also showed some strange expressions in their eyes.

They all saw it clearly just now: it was Chu Changnian who pulled his third son in front of him to shield him, which led to Chu Liang being stabbed in the back by the dart!

Chu Changnian's wife was crying and sobbing, completely distraught.

Chu Yang said, "Then we should hurry and invite a professional doctor from the clinic to treat you."

Then, Chu Yang looked at Chu Changnian's cousins ​​who were less than three generations removed from his own family.

"Dear elders, please let your family take care of things at Uncle's house for now."

Those people all nodded solemnly, and then went to get busy.

Afterwards, the villagers all dispersed.

Of course, they probably wouldn't be able to get a good rest when they got back; instead, they would be filled with vigilance, keeping a farm tool by their bedside at all times, just in case.

Back home, Mrs. Lin hurriedly came forward, filled with anxiety.

"Xiaoyang, are you alright?"

Chu Yang said, "I'm fine, Mother. The bandits have all been killed."

"It's getting late, you should all get some rest."

After exchanging a few words, Chu Yang returned to his room.

During his fight with Xu Shengzhi, he didn't damage any furniture.

Chu Yang had already cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground, so there were no other signs at all.

"Today I've made another five hundred taels of silver."

"In this way, if I need to replenish the medicine, I won't have to worry about the money."

Chu Yang opened his palm, revealing several silver notes.

The other loose silver coins seemed insignificant.

"Chu Changbai is dead, and Chu Changnian's fate is unknown, but I'm afraid he no longer has the strength to cause trouble in the village."

"As for Chu Zhe... he hired someone to kill me, but he also has the background of Canglang Martial Arts School. If we want to kill him without leaving a trace, we still need to do some planning."

"The cartilage-softening powder was tested by Xu Shengzhi, and it really works! We can keep the remaining half-bottle for self-defense!"

Chu Yang thought to himself.

At the same time, the scene of his battle with Xu Shengzhi also appeared in his mind.

Even without weapons or the "softening powder," he was already able to fight against a peak Ming Jin martial artist without being defeated.

This is the enhancement brought about by the Xuan Tie Body Technique, and also the result of his own arduous training in the Fierce Tiger Stance and Tiger Roar Fist.

Another important reason, of course, is that he possesses the [Heavenly Evolution Diagram], allowing him to cultivate at the perfect state of the technique. Therefore, Chu Yang unleashes the maximum power designed for the technique! This makes him stronger than other martial artists of the same level!

"We need to intensify our cultivation over the next few days! Let's finish using up the current potion first!"

"Furthermore, we need to find some Xuan Iron Sand! This is an important aid for cultivating the Xuan Iron Body Technique at the minor completion stage; gravel is no longer effective..."

Chu Yang thought to himself.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yang went to the martial arts school early in the morning.

The many fellow disciples in the martial arts school seemed to have gotten used to Chu Yang's self-absorbed cultivation.

Some of his fellow disciples would greet Chu Yang.

Some of the fellow disciples simply ignored it and practiced their own methods.

However, news did spread from within the inner courtyard.

The time for Senior Brother Chen Feng and Senior Brother Ming Jun to reach the Transcendent Realm may be delayed by five to ten days!

Because their master, Chen Fengxiao, went to great lengths to obtain some medicinal bath and body-tempering liquid for them, intending to have them assist in increasing their success rate in reaching the Grandmaster realm!

Rumor has it that one serving of that medicinal bath body-tempering liquid is worth five hundred taels of silver.

Moreover, the body-tempering liquid can only be applied primarily to the arms, and its effectiveness is still unclear.

Upon hearing this, the outer disciples secretly clicked their tongues in astonishment.

You should know that many of them receive less than five hundred taels of silver a year for their tuition!

They were extremely worried about those tuition fees.

The higher the level of martial arts cultivation, the more resources are needed!

Resources all require silver to purchase!

They also gained a deeper understanding of what it means to be poor in literature and rich in martial arts!

For the next three days, he practiced diligently without interruption. During the day, he practiced Tiger Stance and Tiger Roar Fist at the martial arts school, and at night he practiced Xuan Tie Flesh Body Skill and Tiger Stance at home.

Although the black iron sand required for the Black Iron Body Technique is expensive, costing two taels of silver per pound, it is not a problem for Chu Yang now.

He spent one hundred taels of silver to buy fifty catties of Xuan Iron Sand! That's enough for him to cultivate the Xuan Iron Body Technique to the minor completion stage!

After standing in the Tiger Stance at home for a full hour in the evening.

Chu Yang suddenly shuddered, his bones cracked and popped, and his muscles bulged out!
